Top minority MBA students from around the country will attend the ninth annual University of Colorado at Boulder Andersen Consulting Leadership Seminar July 12-16.
The seminar is one of the nation聮s most comprehensive forums for MBA students to create solutions to e-business problems, develop leadership skills and network with peers, respected academics and business leaders.
"The CU-Boulder College of Business believes diversity has high value in the education process and in the workplace," said Steven Manaster, dean of the CU-Boulder College of Business and Administration.
